ISSUE: Board of Directors' approval is required for the General Manager to amend an
existing professional services agreement in an amount greater than $100,000.
BACKGROUND: In 2014, the District entered into a professional services agreement
with Bienati Consulting Group to undertake several organizational development related
projects. Since that time, Mr. Bienati has assisted the District in completing the Strategic
Plan; developed and implemented the Management Academy; provided leadership and
team-building coaching and training to the Executive Team; and assisted in the
development of the District's Mentorship Program; as well as other related services.
Due to Mr. Bienati's extensive knowledge of the District and workplace culture, staff is
recommending that the District retain Mr. Bienati's services for additional organizational
development related projects. Specifically, the District would further utilize Bienati
Consulting Group to provide one-on-one coaching to the Executive and Management
Team members, as well as training on various leadership topics related to the group.
The cost of this addition to the original scope of work is $110,000, bringing the total
amount of the contract to a not-to-exceed amount of$194,000.
The work being performed by Bienati Consulting Group is in alignment with Goal Three
of the District's Strategic Plan, specifically Strategy 2 - Develop and implement a
District-focused leadership development program and Strategy 3 - Provide appropriate
coaching, mentoring, and development resources for staff to be successful in current
and future positions.
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS: Do not authorize the General Manager to
amend the professional services agreement with Bienati Consulting Group. If this action
is not approved, the District would not be able to effectively and efficiently implement
this level of comprehensive training and coaching.
